The best ways to back up your Android text messages include using Google Backup for built-in automatic backup or using apps like SMS Backup & Restore for more control and cloud storage options.

1. Google Backup (Built-in, Automatic)
Android devices have a built-in SMS backup feature through Google One or Google Backup. This method is simple, free, and secure:

Steps to Enable Google Backup:
Open Settings → Google → Backup.
Toggle Backup by Google One on and select your Google account.
Ensure Messages is included for backup.

Optionally, tap Back up now to save your current messages immediately.

Future backups occur automatically when connected to Wi-Fi and charging.

Restoration: When setting up a new Android device with the same Google account, the messages stored in the backup are automatically restored during device setup

Limitations: You cannot view or export your messages individually, and backups may expire after 57 days of inactivity
